FAQ

Sports or Deep tissue massage is a massage technique used mainly to treat musculoskeletal problems, such as sports injuries.

It involves applying constant pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break down the scar tissue that forms after an injury and to reduce the tension in the muscles and tissues.

Sports massage offers physical, psychological and functional benefits, aiding in both rehabilitation and injury prevention.

Physical benefits:

  • Reduction of muscle pain and stiffness
  • Better blood & lymph circulation
  • Faster injury recovery
  • Removal of lactic acid
  • Relief from conditions such as fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, sciatica

Psychological benefits:

  • Reducing anxiety and stress
  • Improving mood
  • Quality sleep and deeper relaxation

Performance benefits:

  • Enhance endurance and athletic performance
  • Pre-competition preparation (muscle activation, flexibility)
  • Faster recovery after exercise
  • Prevent injuries with regular sessions

Before the sports massage, the massage therapist will want to know about your problem areas. A deep tissue massage can involve the whole body or a single area. The massage therapist warms up your muscles using a light touch. Once warmed up, it will start working on your problem areas.

Getting a professional sports massage once a week can definitely pay off big. This may not seem feasible for everyone, but regular sports massage (every 4 weeks) can bring significant results. Did you know that you should massage every 3-4 weeks for best results?

  • For injury rehabilitation: Twice a week
  • Increase circulation and lymphatic flow: Every one to two weeks
  • For general well-being: Once a month

People may feel uncomfortable during a session, especially if the therapist is targeting problem areas. They can tell their massage therapist if a massage becomes painful.

Sports massage is not for everyone. If you have any of the following you should talk to your doctor first.

  • Nervous injury
  • History of blood clots or a clotting disorder
  • Bone fractures
  • On the stomach
  • Hernia
  • Wounds or skin diseases
  • Any recent surgery or chemotherapy
